Ingredients of Cabbage Momos Recipe

- 2 medium-size cabbage
- Onions 400gm
- Garlic 9-10 cloves
- Cooking Oil 300ml
- Amul Butter 100gm
Procedures of Cabbage Momos Recipe
1. Chopping the vegetables
First thing first, remove the outermost leaves of the cabbage, then cut it in half and remove its stalk with the help of a knife.
Likewise, cut off the top and bottom parts of the onions and cut from the middle then remove the scale leaves.
Also, soak the garlic into cold water, cut it in half then remove its cover with your fingers or knife.
Sometimes, peeling off garlic can be quite challenging for some of you especially if you are new to the kitchen.
So, I’m going to give you simple tips here,
Soak the garlic cloves into the water before peeling off. What it does is, it helps to reduce the sticky of the garlic and makes your work easy and faster.
Now wash them thoroughly before cutting them into pieces.
After washing, chop them into pieces.
With this in mind, here I have used the food processor for chopping the vegetables if you have you can use it as it saves time and energy.
If you don’t have any other chopping equipment be a little patience and do it manually.
2. Making Stuffing
Once the veggies are finely chopped, heat the oil.
While the oil is heating, mix the veggies add some processed cheese and salt as per your taste, and mix them well.
Once the oil is heated enough, make the flame low add Amul butter and let it melt completely.
Here Amul butter is not necessary to use, I just use it for the flavor.
As soon as the butter is melted, pour it directly on the veggies little by little and mix them well with the spatula.
Be careful while dealing with the hot oil, you don’t want to end up yourself with burnt body parts. Hehe…
Now apart from the heating oil, I also have to list the quantity of the oil you should use.
I have this recipe video on my YouTube and I got lots of negative comments based on the amount of oil I have used.
It is good to know how people are conscious about their health.
Some of my viewers are shocked seeing the amount of oil I have used but I also want you to understand that.
I didn’t make only one plate of momos out of 300ml of oil and 100 gm of Amul butter. I made more than 60 pieces out of it.
So, I would highly recommend, using the oil as per the quantity of your filling mixture.
Once the filling mixture is nicely combined, cover it with plates or anything you have and refrigerate it overnight or if you want to make instantly then keep it in the freezer for 45-60 minutes.
This is because green veggies and onions release water and make the filling kind of juicy and it makes complications while pleating the dumplings.
So, keeping it in the freezer for a few hours helps to evaporate the liquid water resulting in a dry mixture which makes work efficient and easy for wrapping the momos.
Make sure you don’t over freeze them and make them hard like rocks as well.
It is necessary to keep it in the freezer or refrigerator?
No! it’s not necessary, there are other methods to make the filling mixture dry.
Do not squeeze the water from the chopped vegetables.
This will be the quickest way to make momos but the problem with it is when you squeeze off the water from them, almost all the nutrients will be lost in water so you can’t achieve the same taste as you get from the one made without squeezing water.
Now, it’s up to you, you can go for whichever you find convenient.
3. Making Dough
Put the flour in a bowl add water and use your hands to combine the flour and knead the dough into soft or moderate dough depending upon the weather or temperature.
If the room temperature is high keep the dough moderate and if the room temperature is low keep dough soft.
After this cover the dough with a bowl or airtight plastic and let it sit for 45-60 minutes.
After 45-60 minutes, place the dough on a working surface and roll out the dough with a rolling pin forming a sheet of 1-2mm thick.
Once you have done this use a round cutter to cut out the circle and there you go, your momo wrapper is ready.
Make sure to make the thin wrappers.
Now, take a pot and boil the water. When the water is boiling, grease the steamer with oil.
4. Making Shapes
Now take the wrapper and put it in the palm of your hand.
Take about tsp of the filling and place it right in the center.
Take the dumpling wrapper to fold it together.
After this, press it well at the one end Conner using your right-hand thumb and index finger.
Start pleating from the edge in one direction.
Check out my video on How to make Perfect Momos Shape.
There are so many ways to pleat the dumplings.
Some are super easy, while some are a bit advanced.
If you are a starter, start to form simple ones.
If you don’t know how to make shapes at first don’t give up, practice more.
Practice is the key to every possible work.
5. Steaming the Cabbage Momos
After successfully pleating the memos, place them on the well-greased steamer.
Make sure to keep a little gap in between otherwise they will stick to one another while steaming.
So, to achieve good shape momos at the end is to keep some gap between them.
After placing the well in the steamer, steam them for 10-15 mins under high flame.
After 15 mins the Cabbage Momos are cooked.
Serve it with your favorite sauces like Bhutanese Ezay, Mayonnaise, Schezwan sauce, etc.
